29 YEARS OLD LADY AND TEENAGER NABBED BY POLICE FOR ROBBING WITH TOY GUNS

The suspects

By Our Correspondent

A 29 years old lady, Chioma Okafor has been arrested by the police while carrying out robbery operation with a 19 years old boy, Nweke Joshua at Adesan area of Mowe, Ogun State with toy guns.

The suspects were arrested following a distress call received at Mowe Divisional Headquarters at about 9:30 pm, that armed robbers have invaded a food stuff shop owned by one Johnson Nwokoro at Safari Junction Adesan, dispossesing the owner of the day's sales. 

On receiving the distress call, the DPO Mowe Division, SP Folake Afeniforo, promptly mobilized a patrol team and the So- Safe Corps to the scene where the two suspects were arrested. 

On searching them, it was discovered that they came to rob the shop with toy guns which looked perfectly like original pistols. 

On interrogation, the 19 years old Nweke Joshua, informed the police that it was Chioma Okafor who came up with the idea of carrying out the robbery operation in order for them to have some money. 

He stated further that it was Chioma who bought the two toy guns and gave him one to use for the operation. 

They went to the shop and pretended like customers, but they suddenly brought out guns and ordered the shop owner to hand over all money in his possession to them .

Luck ran out of them when police and the So-Safe Corps arrived at the scene before they can escaped. 

Information reaching us from SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, the Police Public Relations Officer of Ogun Command, the Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Bankole, has directed that the suspects be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Departments for further investigation.
